When I flew to Texas back in December there was a guy with headphones with the number "6" on them. I hadn't flown in a real long time before then, so I had forgotten just how much noise there is when flying. When I got home I googled those phones and found out they were Beats by Dre. I also found this article: NY Times - Headphones To Shut..

In summary, the Bose model you own wins. The Dre model was tested and didn't even make a difference at all in noise cancellation. So as others have said in this thread they are just for hipsters and those who care about image. You might as well buy something like I have--the Panasonic RPHJE120K for $6 dollars.
